1. Just Talk To Me! with Audrea and Sandra Life Coaches Mentors Agents of Encouragement Psalm 139 Woman – Gathering of the Vessels – Hilliard Edition FIRST SATURDAYS Hilliard Branch Library 11:30 am

2. The Encouragement Agents

3. Our Mission We want to encourage and empower women to press to reach their fullest potential so that they can discover and pursue their purpose and walk out their destiny. Women are actively encouraging others while encouraging themselves, reaching across generational boundaries, learning from each other.

4. Be Encouraged! Superwoman is non-existent – trying to be her will kill you! God forgives and forgets and so should you! Don’t you know that God has more for you? You have not seen your best days yet! There’s more before you than there is behind you. You can start over. You can be healed. You can start having good things in your life to replace the bad things. God’s plans are so much better than ours. Allow God to cleanse your heart from the fear of change. You can call upon God even in the middle of the night. In order to move forward, we must be willing to give up yesterday and go on toward tomorrow.

5. Clarity of Purpose Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. God created you with a “purpose” and a “plan” – Ecc 3:1 You’re not a surprise to God, He had you on His mind. What would you do and enjoy even if you were not getting paid to do it. There is where you will find your purpose. Celebrate who you are. You are the image of God! Everything God will do for a man. He will do for a woman. You will never get it straight without Jesus! Come just as you are!

7. How We View Ourselves vs How God Views Us Psalm 139 Explore details and insert yourself in the passage Realize/Understand/Embrace the fact that you are… Special/Unique/Purposefully designed for a reason Change all wrong thinking

8. Whatever It Is… Let It GO!!! Whatever it is that has been plaguing you, holding you back, keeping you from even entertaining the possibility of rising to your fullest potential, just release it. Let it go! Replace the wrong thinking, the wrong thoughts, the ideas that oppose what God says about you and replace them with words of life, words of hope, promises of the future that is yours. Get rid of the barriers and the blockages and get ready to dream again! Listen to Gail Holmes as she delivers this message in song and begin to think about what you will release so that you can soar!

10. All About Me! Self-assessment of… your attributes, your gifts, your talents Don’t shy away from pointing out the positives Great things are in you because God placed them there Don’t forget to “flip the script” on the enemy Discovered faith and resolve you didn’t know you had Learned to trust God even more because of what you’ve come through

11. You Are Unique! Be YOU!! Learn to love who God created you to be and to appreciate the gifts, talents, abilities, and accomplishments of your sisters. United we can do so many things. Stop comparing and start collaborating! There are people to be touched, lives to be changed, and changes to be made. Women encouraging women... It's a WONDERFUL thing! ~ Psalm 139 Woman

18. Morning Time… Joy Comes in the Morning! Life may have dealt you many blows that knocked you out… but they didn’t take you out of the game. Even as you begin to look up and move forward, the process of change, purging and healing may prove to be painful. Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed. Keep moving forward knowing that as you push and press your way, sometimes with tears streaming down your face, JOY is coming your way. Listen and reflect as Bishop George Davis lets us know what time it is!

19. Homework Prepare to make two vision boards… Vision Board – Who are you? Words and pictures that describe who you are Vision Board – What do you see/dream about/desire? Not necessarily big goals for the future… Something you want to accomplish Something you have put off Something you would like to overcome
